After several years of editorial work and positions at multiple literary agencies including Folio Literary Management
and Inklings Literary, I have joined D4EO Literary as an agent in late 2018.

I enjoy books with unforgettable stories and characters. I search for books that can transport me to another time or place
or teach me something new. I love when a book can grip my emotions enough to make me laugh or cry. While I enjoy happy endings,
I don’t shy away from dark stories or tragic romances.

What I Want to Represent:

I’m looking for talented writers in these genres in adult and young adult fiction:

Leaving fans “practically begging for a sequel” (Bookpage), critically acclaimed author Kristy Woodson Harvey returns with the second novel in her beloved Peachtree Bluff series,
slightly south of simple featuring a trio of sisters and their mother who discover a truth that will change not only the way they see themselves, but also how they fit together as a family.

“The Secret to Southern Charm is a compelling, beautifully drawn tale of love, hope, and small town secrets. The richly detailed backdrop of a charming coastal town and the struggles and joys of four generations of women solidifies Kristy Woodson Harvey’s spot as a rising star of Southern fiction.”

--Mary Alice Monroe - New York Times bestselling author of Beach House for Rent.

"I had tears in my eyes by page five and was unabashedly sobbing by the end of the final few chapters, but it was the story in between--the laughter, the pain, the hope, the complicated questions about fate and family--that kept me reading this inspiring, sweeping novel long into the night. The characters will leap off the page and into your heart, and you'll find yourself rooting for them so fervently, you'll forget they're not actually real. Kristy Woodson Harvey has delivered another masterpiece with the second book in her beautifully Southern, evocative Peachtree Bluff series. Let's just say that this one had better have a sequel too, because I'm not ready to leave these charming ladies behind."

-Kristin Harmel - international bestselling author of The Sweetness of Forgetting and When We Meet Again

New Harbinger launches Dr. Robert L. Leahy, Ph.D.'s THE JEALOUSY CURE with a Starred Review from Library Journal:

In his newest book, Leahy (The Worry Cure) reveals that jealousy can be a positive feeling when it causes people to reflect on their relationships. But it can also hijack a person’s mind and drive one’s partner away. Using a combination of cognitive-behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and mindfulness techniques to encourage healthy relationships, Leahy first details the strategies that don’t work (e.g., interrogation, accusations, looking for clues) and then guides readers through evaluating and talking back to jealous thoughts. Leahy concludes with a section on how couples can work together to find acceptable solutions.

VERDICT Solid counsel for those whose relationships are plagued by jealousy and the individuals it targets.

Biography

Barbara Nickless promised her mother she’d be a novelist when she grew up. What could be safer than sitting at a desk all day?

sword fighter, piano teacher and journalist. Now an award-winning author, she spends her free time snowshoeing, caving and hiking the
Colorado Rockies. Connect with her at Barbara Nickless

Conferences:
Pam will accept invitations to conferences that provide travel. She has given classes and talks at many conferences and
a good portion of her list came from those meetings. She loves speed dating and pitch sessions.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: Across the board, I’m looking for books that hook me from the very first page, whether it’s the writing,
the voice or some unquantifiable draw that demands my time. I’m drawn to stories that are exceptionally well-written, that
star dynamic, unforgettable characters and that appeal to a wide, commercial audience.

I’m looking for literary fiction with commercial appeal and beautiful, stand-out writing (The Girls, Cloud Atlas). I’m on the l
ookout for upmarket general, women’s and historical fiction my book club will want to spend hours talking about (Big Little Lies,
The Nest, Orphan Train). I’d love to discover a new twist on chick lit – think Bridget Jones for millennials – and I have a weakness
for fun, perfectly-executed beach reads. I’m also looking for well-written romance, both contemporary and historical. I especially
enjoy epic, genre-bending romance (Outlander, The Bronze Horseman) and I never say never when it comes to paranormal, although
believability and originality are essential.

Genres I read less of but will still consider include high-concept YA with blockbuster potential, psychologically complex horror,
and female-centric thrillers. In these categories, I’m looking for select projects with storytelling that won’t let go.

I am also someone who loves projects (books and films alike) such as the Oceans trilogy, the Bourne series, the Girl with the
Dragon Tattoo series, and Downtown Abbey, among others funny, intense, and able to invest your heart in the lives of its characters.

How I Agent
Where I and my clients agree it is necessary and good, I am a heavily editorial agent, with much experience and background in
structural editorial work. Beyond this, I agent very personally: we’re a team, setting you up for a writing career, and so this
means close work on the manuscript, on submissions, on marketing, on learning the field and placing you well for growth and success,
and on friendship. I am of the mind that, where there is something personally shared, we’ll love and do our mutual work with greater
joy and freedom.
